Khanjar
Khanjar by Lattafa is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with nutmeg, ginger and pimento, moves into cashmeran, violet and patchouli and dries down to vetiver, incense, musk and leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
Heart
- Cashmeran Musky, woody and slightly spicy. Velvety and very persistent.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
